I just watched the clip of Hunter Biden talking about how to make crack and how good it is, and my first thought was, this mother****er is definitely going to be the president one day.

Who do you reckon has done more cocaine in their life; Hunter or Don Jr?

Hmmmm. Good question. I’ll lean towards Jnr because he’s probably still doing it and I’m pretty sure Hunter is clean now.

 

[Val Keating]

Though Hunter probably did a lot of crack when he was an addict.

Reality is they're more likely to be railing lines off a female family member whilst high-fiving each other, bragging how big a man they are.

Both of them?

 

[DesertRoo]

Both of them?

at the same time

Fair enough.

Honestly wouldn't surprise me.

The ironing is it’s up there with freegizz in terms of satire, what a difference twelve months makes, me kicking back thinking the world couldn’t get more insane….

Let’s pull out that bingo wheel

Garage door man been. Finally at lockup on the renno.

I saw a short of his interview about crack. It was interesting and thoughtful.

Most of that stuff is obvious (to me anyway) but he isn't a complete clown.

I didn’t think he came across as a clown at all. He came across as genuine.

Yeah but previously I had a very low opinion of him after that shit he pulled in Ukraine.

Hottest 100 for Australian tracks tomorrow.

I fully anticipate its gonna be full of awful music.

But because Triple J meant a lot to me as someone growing up in regional Australia, prior to the internet, where there was one CD store for a 50km radius, I felt obligated to submit some tracks for old-times sake.

Easybeats - Friday on my Mind
(there's a Flemington straight between this and the next best Australian track for me - I could rant almost religiously about the incredible composition, structure and immaculate production for weeks. In a roundabout way, its the birth of AC/DC too)

Go-Betweens - Cattle and Cane
(Honestly hard pressed to pick the best song by this amazing band, the best Australian band in my lifetime, but this is the one I never get sick of)

INXS - Don't Change
(The market is wrong - this is far superior to any of their Kick-era singles. Also the best exercise song made by an Aussie band of all-time)

Total Control - Flesh War
(easily my favourite Aussie track of the past 15 years. Great Madchester vibes. Why didn't they continue???)

AC/DC - Highway to Hell
(yes they were incredibly immature, yes they became an even more preposterous caricature of themselves soon after, and yet the the rhythm section is incredible and this track always seems so prophetic to Bon Scott's destiny that it feels otherworldly decades later)

The Moles - Bury Me Happy
(Australia's answer to early-career REM who should have been huge, a local indie classic)

The Saints - Know Your Product
(Right up there with the best of the Clash as far as late 70s punk goes, still hits hard, Kuepper deserves an AO)

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Revel - Talking Straight
(love the jangly guitar tones, love the relentless and simple rhythm section, evokes modern Australian suburbia better than just about any track I know)

Stevie Wright - Evie
(I have a bonkers theory this was written by Vanda and Young ABOUT Stevie Wright- the third part always makes me dance wildly)

Nick Cave - The Mercy Seat
(You could pick so many by this bloke, got such an amazing discography, it was between Deanna and this, but I just couldn't leave this beauty out, have so many indelible moments getting wasted to this song as a teenager)

Nice list.

Hard to argue with some of them songs MP. Maybe Dirty Deeds tho.

I forgot to vote in that but Shark Fin blues is an amazing song.

So is Hand of Law.

There's a bunch of songs by Slim Dusty and Chad Morgan that sound very similar but some are amazing.

Wide Open Road. Bow River. Khe Sahn... for all the cliches about that song I knew a bunch of guys who were in Vietnam. That song is about PTSD and they all love it.

Paul Kelly's "little" songs. Little Decisions, Little Things, Little Kings ... and Everything is Turning to White. He could probably fill the top ten on his own on the right day.

When you get into it there are sooo many good songs from Australia. About Australia too. My Island Home by Warumpi's. IN December I saw Shane Howard sing Solid Rock at Mannalargenna in a tent in a paddock at Cape Portland, behind Little Musslerow Bay, to about 100 people. That was spine chilling, hairs on your neck kind of stuff.

Bloody hard work narrowing it all down to 10.

Awesome list.

Of those, I reckon Gravy will rank highest.

It’s a wonderful song.

Can’t for the life of me understand why young Australians don’t rate Friday on my Mind up there with the Beatles and the stones.
